Maozhou Wushu Team was founded in 1995 by Deng Minghua, Liao Jinsheng and Zhu Qichun. In the 1990s, Guangdong's plum blossom pile lion dance technique fascinated the audience. Tengxian has a tradition of lion dancing and martial arts performances. On holidays, lion dance, congratulations to celebrate good luck. In order to develop the art of lion dance in tengxian, coach Liao Jinsheng and Deng Minghua, a villager from Luozhou Island, discussed the plan of adding martial arts teams and lion dance teams. The two hit it off, and Liao and Deng decided to set up a peasant martial arts lion dance team on Luozhou Island, which has a martial arts tradition. At the beginning of the establishment of the Lions Team, Mengjiang Lions were invited to lay a good foundation for their lion skills. After returning, the parents of the students went up the mountain to transport firewood, buried piles, jumped baskets and knocked on wooden pots in front of the door for training. This peasant lion team was born in this way. In June, it raised funds to buy new lions and homemade piles, and presented a special gift for the party's birthday-the lion.
The students of the Wushu Lion Dance Team are all primary and middle school students in Ruozhou Village. Every year, about 50% of the students in school have participated in martial arts study, and in recent years, more than 2,000 students have accepted martial arts practice. There are more than 300 Wushu team athletes and lion dancers. In a tough environment, Maozhou Lions continued to grow and develop without funds and equipment. The county party committee and government attached great importance to the team, and praised it at many meetings, especially in terms of funds. The cultural and sports departments also gave strong support in terms of manpower and technology, which enabled the Lions to achieve impressive results in regional, national and international competitions.

After several years of development, Maozhou Lions Team now has three groups of athletes who can perform on piles, two groups of reserve and nine groups of lion dancers (juvenile groups), including 50 martial arts performers. The overall technology of the Lions team has improved rapidly, catching up with the national high level. They not only carried forward the traditional lion dance skills, but also created many difficult movements, which are rarely seen in domestic and international competitions at present. Lions Club has been invited to perform in Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and other counties and cities for many times, with more than 180 performances per year and more than 800,000 visitors. Wherever he went, he was highly praised and warmly welcomed by the audience, and many viewers watched several performances. During the performance, I saw the lion jump, jump, roll, soar, span, explore, carry, turn and fly on the high pile with the clanging drums. Hard and soft, sometimes spiritual exploration, and sometimes the lion is full of energy. I also saw the golden lion hanging upside down, the drunken lion enjoying the moon on a single mountain, and the Swiss lion climbing the cliff to pick Ganoderma lucidum. This is a thrilling strength and beautiful modeling stunt. The troupe also created difficult movements such as somersault, wire forward roll, wire straight leg, wire split and flying distance of 3.67 meters, which only achieved the stunt of rotating 450 degrees with the waist. It is a must in the country and enjoys a good reputation in Southeast Asia, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Australia. The troupe integrates martial arts, acrobatics, skills, gymnastics, dance and other techniques into the lion art, vividly showing the expressions and forms of the lion, such as joy, anger, drunkenness, joy, search, surprise, doubt, movement, quietness and awakening. Such difficult movements are one after another, and the wonderful and thrilling skills are one after another, interlocking, both wonderful and close.
On September 7th, 2003, when the mayor of Zhong Xiangting, the secretary of the county party committee and other city and county leaders visited Pengzhou Island, they gave great care and support to Pengzhou Lion Team. CCTV, Phoenix Satellite TV, Guangxi TV and Wuzhou TV reported the real situation many times. People's Daily, Guangxi Daily and Wuzhou Daily reported the special news of the Lions, and foreign countries and Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Zhejiang and other places kept coming to the island to enjoy the lion dance. China Southern Lion Training Base was formed on the island. Make friends with lions and promote the all-round development of Luozhou. A new Luozhou Island, which integrates tourism, vacation, lion learning and martial arts, will be presented to people.
Lions are famous and green islands are bright. I hope that Ruozhou Lion Team will create more glories and make greater contributions to pushing the lion dance in China to the Olympic Games.
